Ubuntu – How to run PhotoShop CS5 in 12.04

12.04photoshop

I have seen that many articles showing that Photoshop cs5,4 can be run in Ubuntu through Wine. I want to get the Photoshop for ubuntu.

Does someone know what I should do for now because I cannot find any assistance.

I have a portable version of Photoshop which work fine on Windows. I have not tried (Wine is still downloading).

Does someone have any idea how to use Photoshop on ubuntu 12.04

There is no way to run Photoshop natively on Ubuntu.

You can either use wine to run it in a windows environment. (Haven't tried CS5 so I'm not sure if you have to do some tricks to make it work.)

The other way to do it is to run it in a virtual windows environment. I have Windows 7 set up as a virtual machine where I run visual studio and photoshop etc. I did find this blog post where Photoshop is set up in a virtual environment but behaves (sort of) as a native application.
